Christmas 2009

Our neighborhood aparantly goes all out during the holidays with the decorations. Here are a few examples of some exceptional houses.

One of our family traditions is driving around to look at Christmas lights sometime during the season. This is the first year it was warm enough to take a stroll rather than a drive.
Another family tradition is fast becoming a winter trip to Overgaard, Az. We were lucky enough to go last year with the Nuckles, but this year we got to spend it with the Nuckles and the Esplins! Who could be this lucky? Best part of the picture is Cameron- she wouldn't ditch the bunny beannie or the mittens.
Rock is already getting shooting lessons from mom and dad.

Stunnas!
Willyerd Family tradition- Pajama line up on Christmas morning. Just as the title suggests, we all line up in our pajamas and take a picture! We got to go to Oregon this year to celebrate with Warren and Margaret, and Ashley- Joe's parents and sister.
Despite what this picture may look like, Rocky didn't sit still for very long on dad's lap. He was so happy and giddy on Christmas morning. Joe and I couldn't really remember a day where Rocky was happier. We think he just sensed that it was a good day and everyone's good mood rubbed off or something.
Grandma Weatherspoon- allowing Rocky to remove the batteries from the remote, AGAIN.
This is Rocky's toy stash.
Rock is the Alfa-male, and he knows it. Rosco isn't used to anyone running the house other than him. He put up with it well, but i'm not sure he loved being kicked out of his bed.
Ashley snagged this ice saucer from a wheel barrow.

I love where Joe's parents live. They are surrounded by farm fieds and old farm houses and equipment. I made Joe pose there for a picture- I just think it would be the perfect backdrop for family photos one day...
We made it back home in time to spend a fun new years with the Nuckles. Joe captured this shot with his long reach.
